Soon, they start earning karma points by running elaborate schemes to trip up those who are abusing the fractured social system.“At the time when I wrote it, COVID was just hitting.
I was reading that they were letting people out of prisons,” said Garcia. “I already had an idea about a character Garret would play that gets out of prison after kind of an unjust marijuana sentence.
